Ok, I know a few of you are like "anime? bloarghag" but hey, I'm sure you'll enjoy this one.

I was kind of skeptic about this, because of the title, so I never bothered to check it out when it started. Oh boy, was I wrong.
Basically it's a show about superheroes appearing live on television as part of a TV show, fighting crime, getting paid by sponsors. Every criminal they catch, citizen they rescue will earn them points, that will determine their value.

It's worth to check out, mainly because it doesn't have most of the usual anime cliches, it somewhat feels and looks like an american comic book adaptation, i.e. something like justice league or similar. Not to the mention the music is really great, and I'm pretty sure it was influenced by giacchino. Also a plus for me: certain scenes have 3D mixed with 2D, which I was never a fan of, but it's done in a more subtle way, so it's not the "in your face" type.

You can watch the episodes here. I'm sure the first ep will get you hooked.

I fucking love[/b] this show. It's the only one that I can't be late in following, otherwise I will go insane. I heard Sunrise greenlit a season two. Which I am so fucking excited for. <3

I hope that's true, because this is imho one of the best shows in recent years.

This series is tied with Kaiji S2 for my favourite anime of this season. It's such an interesting take on the superhero genre with all that advertising, sponsorship, and the look at aging heroes.

i don't really care for the crappy cel-shaded 3D they love to use in anime at all

maybe i'll look at one episode or something

Sapphire · September 10, 2011 11:02 PM

Yeah so this show has 26 episodes I think. Episode 24 got released on Hulu (just finished watching it), so 2 episodes left.

Shida · September 11, 2011 11:06 AM

Weeeeh, I have to wait for fansubs to get released so I haven't seen 24 just yet
